World Record Pumpkin

Despite the horrible weather this morning, a few fellow photojs and I went to Prince Edward County's Pumpkinfest out in Wellington. The day was a bit crazy, especially with the downpour/sunshine mix and the moving of the weighing to a barn well out of town.

However, we stayed for a while, watched a few things get weighed, then were on our way to something else. And while I didn't see it weighed, seeing this behemoth get lifted off a truck and admired by men who regularly grow thousand-pound pumpkins was enough to know that it was special.
